Mystery man stashes £1000 in cash near Hay-on-Wye for treasure hunt

A REAL-LIFE international treasure hunt organised by a mysterious Twitter benefactor led one lucky trio to a small wood just outside Hay-On-Wye where they found a jar containing £1,000 in rolled up banknotes.

“It was mental,” said Jamie Machin, 21. “My boss had an idea where it might be at Mousecastle Wood so we went up after work.

“After hours looking round we stumbled on it as we were heading home – this gold-topped jar full of cash.”

Through his anonymous account - named @HiddenCash Californian - real estate millionaire Jason Buzi has sent thousands scavenging for money drops around the world.
